New Ulm weekly review., 1887-03-02

nxed their county seat by vote OF
the electors! can only change it
vote. TO make such distinction
between countries which 'heretofore'' and
such as may hereafter fix their county
seats by vote, a permanent distinction
which shall last through all time is MAX
ing an important distinction where there
lis no substantial difference. Nor can the
act be saved by discarding the proviso.
The proviso is not unconstitutional; it is
not inconsistent with the body of the
section: To strike it out and apply the
body OF the section to all the counties OF
the state would be in clear defiance OF the
legislative will.

In his annual report OF the numbers
values, and condition of farm animals
Statistician Dodge, of the department OF
agriculture, kes the following comments
upon Minnesota neat stock. Horses and
swine in Minnesota are general healthy.
No epidemic OF a fatal character has ever
prevailed in the state among the domestic
animals on the farm. There has been dur
ing the past year an increase in the NUM-
ber and value OF stock OF every descrip-
ton. Farmers are determined TO
seed down more land to grass
tie, more sheep and more hogs. AS the
country becomes settled up by farmers less
wheat will be raised. The tendency in the
Northwest is to breed better animals.
Each succeeding year shows greatimprov
lnent in this respect. The dairy interest is
being enlarged. Creameries are being built
and cheese factories introduced. The pecu-
liar character OF the soil warrants an
abundant hay crop. Farmers who be-
itnn0voriaho0 hv oicir,n oy,1,,
wheat crop, have, since they abandoned it
and turned their attention to stock rais-
ing, become forehanded.
